Avenue Drivers Club, Queens Sq Bristol

Over the last couple of months I have been attending meetings of the Avenue Drivers Club at Queens Square in Bristol where members of the club and public are encouraged to exercise a variety of classic and vintage vehicles. The gatherings are free and make a cheap morning out.

Among the vehicles seen yesterday were :-

This UAZ on Polish plates wondering if any one knows how to spot the difference between a pre 1985 UAZ 469 or a post '85 UAZ 31512 or even if I have got the model numbers completely wrong ?

The metal work on this 1921 Vauxhall 20/60 returned to the UK from 50 years in the colonies in good shape but the body work frame was completely munched away by termites !

I had not realised until just now that prior to producing Elva's and McLaren's under licence and manufacturing their own F5000 and F1 cars Trojan built T200 Bubble Cars under licence from Heinkel.

Offered for sale for £1k was this 1974 registered Victor, I have the mob number if anyone wants it, usual disclaimers apply.

Finally I did not get the opportunity to speak to the owner of this Sunbeam reg WM 188,

DVLA and HPI records tell us its a 1929 model with a three litre engine and as can be seen it is a twin cam six.

I'd be greatful if anybody has any info to share on it like the model 20 hp or 35 hp (?) and or possible competition history ?

Relevant answers to any of the above questions may be credited and used in a forthcoming blog.

Thanking you in anticipation of your responses.

Pressing engagements elsewhere not withstanding I shall probably make a habit of nipping down the road on the second Sunday in the coming months if any TNFers are planning on being there and would like to meet up leave a message on this thread.

Sounds like fun. Let's hope that it goes from strength to strength.
I have the luxury of being close to the Ace Cafe and am a regular at their Classic Cars night on the 2nd Tuesday (evening) of every month. So I'll be there again in the Frogeye tomorrow.

A timely reminder that should anyone with an interest in all things motoring find them selves at a loose end near Bristol on Sunday morning the Avenue Drivers Club should be meeting at Queens Square around 9 am.

Another month another timely reminder that should anyone with an interest in all things motoring find them selves at a loose end near Bristol on Sunday morning the Avenue Drivers Club should be meeting at Queen Square around 9 am.

Ted Walker has told me he intends to be there anyone else for care for Coffee & Croissants while perusing a variety of vehicles Vintage to Classic on Sunday ?
